All Blacks

After a sell-out Steinlager Series, All Blacks fans can now look forward to seeing their team take on Australia, Argentina and South Africa as tickets for the 2013 Investec Rugby Championship go on sale.

Tickets to see the World Champion All Blacks take on Australia in the Investec Rugby Championship in Wellington on 24 August, Argentina on 7 September in Hamilton and South Africa on 14 September at Auckland’s Eden Park, are on sale today, Monday 1 July.

New Zealand Rugby Chief Executive Steve Tew said the Steinlager Series had been a great success with all three Test matches against France selling out.

Now it was time for Wellington, Hamilton, and again, Auckland to shine as Test match hosts.

“We had great crowds for the matches in Auckland, Christchurch and New Plymouth and I know the team really appreciated that support so here is another opportunity to support the boys at Westpac Stadium, Waikato Stadium or Eden Park.

“I urge fans to show their support and to book their seats early. We know that the boys love nothing better than running out in front of a full house,” Steve Tew said.

Trans-Tasman rivalry kicks off the New Zealand leg of the Investec Rugby Championship when Wellington hosts the second Bledisloe Cup Test, where adult ticket prices range between $75 and $135.

Then it’s Waikato’s turn to host the colourful Pumas, who return for their second year in the expanded competition. Adult ticket prices range from $35 to $135.

Then the All Blacks return to Eden Park for the second time this year, to take on the Springboks. Tickets range from $60 to $160.

The All Blacks domestic Test season closes out in Dunedin where the third Bledisloe Cup Test match against Australia will be played on 19 October at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Fans will get their chance to purchase those tickets when they go on sale on 10 August.
